Hi all,
This seems like the sort of place where we can pick each others brains metaphorically speaking, no surgery required.
I've been lucky enough to have got my hands on a 2014 Mercedes Benz SLK55 AMG R172 and it's quite a goer.
It's not mentally fast but quick and well balanced.
Anyway I'm looking to get a H pipe fitted as the current resonator is basically an X in configuration and I would also like a deeper sound.
Has anyone else done this and was there a reason to regret it.
The other thing I'm after is headers if anyone knows of someone who sells/makes them.
Have I just breached the regs by putting all this in my intro, well I'm old and retired so I do stupid stuff.
Hello.
Sorry.
